At night, from the den located after the fifth bamboo in the hamlet, the fox goes out to hunt.

BHe quenches his thirst at the watering hole. While waiting for your arrival, he takes shelter in the shade of the cherry blossoms.

CThe fox is cautious. It shall emerge when it is sure that the water was not poisoned.

Amateur merc. Yes, this is Takemura.

BI am using a burner via a secure connection, but I figured it would be best to use the secret code I created

CI suspected it might be beyond your abilities...

Meet me at the docks on Channel St, Japantown

BCome at night. If nobody has followed you, I will show myself

CI trust this was understood? Not too complicated?

V – choose a replyAI got it, Goro. See youBGonna "show" yourself or what? This part of the code?

There is a saying in your country... One moment, it will come to me...

BAh, now I remember!

CGO FUCK YOURSELF.

Bye.

AVision without action is a dream. Action without vision is a nightmare. We should remember this.

BV, I allowed my temper to flare and for that I apologize. Even I can get carried away at times. I hope you didn't take it to heart.

Hello, V.

BWakako Okada... You do not think she will betray us?

V – choose a replyAWhat, she doesn't "charm" you anymore? Having doubts?BYou have nothing to worry about. Unlike me. Where are you?

You only have to look at her. A venomous spider wearing the mask of a nice, old lady. But I will not be fooled.

BIf it were not her disdain for Arasaka, she would have sold us out for a handful of pachinko balls. But since she has not, that means she is something even more dangerous – an opportunist.

CMaybe she simply wants to spear two rats on one stick and is waiting for the right moment.

V. I am in Kabuki. I have two questions.

BHow could anyone call this filthy slum "Kabuki?!" Kabuki is a form of art!

CI will let you know shortly.

V – choose a replyAThanks, Goro.BLet me know if I can be of help

I may take you up on that offer. But for now I will manage alone

BYour time will come

I still don't know whether we did right by revealing ourselves to Okada-san. Trust is like a sake that should be drunk chilled. And in moderation.

V – choose a replyThanks for the tip. I'll keep it in mindwhat, suddenly Wakako's not a "delightful mature woman"..?

She reminds me of my grandmother - also a delight, but capable of terrorizing the entire neighborhood. Even the oyabun.

Bazaar, Kanzaki St, Japantown. You cannot miss it

BBazaar is on the upper level. Quite high, so it is worth using the public elevator. I think there are two

V – choose a replyAOk, I willBThe fox sneaks into the chicken coop with its own tail between its teeth.

More code...?

AV, do not be a fool. This is a serious matter. Will you come?

V – choose a replyACome on!BFine...

I see parables are beyond some people's intellectual capacities... Let us drop the subject

About what we discussed on the roof...

BBakeneko can take on a human appearance. Sometimes they even consume their owner and replace them

Keep it as a warning

V – choose a replyJust an img? No nuggets of bushido wisdom?Thanks. I'll remember

Not every fool is a thief, but every thief is a fool.
Takemura Goro, 2077

BThank you…

V – choose a replyWhat would you say to a little dinner together? a real one?Aren't you a little lonely? What would you say to... some company? :)

Hmm…. I'm not sure I understand you... You mean to say… what I think you are saying?

V… This is perhaps not the best idea… I'm honored but I have other…obligations in Japan. Under other circumstances… you understand I hope. But thank you, your words mean a lot to me.

GOOD YAKITORI NIGHT CITY

BTEMPURA NIGHT CITY CHEAP

CUDON NIGHT CITY

DTASTY RAMEN

EIs there anything to eat in this wasteland?

V – choose a replyAGoro, you can't find anything because you're sending your searches to me as messages!!!BI can give you a few pointers

V – choose a replyI've got a few ideas if you're feeling peckishIt's ok, just be careful next time

V – choose a replyIf you want sushi, there's a decent place in Wellsprings. For that you gotta throw on some decent threads though...Can't go wrong with Tom's Diner. They have the best pancakes

ASushi in Night City...? Sounds like suicide. And somehow disrespectful.

V – choose a replyHow about Mexican food? Right next to Mama Welles' bar in the Glen there's a place that serves the best tamales in the worldThe pancakes at Tom's Diner are to die for. I'm not even joking

BAn interesting proposition. I assume this Mama Welles is related to your friend?

V – choose a replyIf the road's taught me one thing, it's that nothing tastes better than roasted marshmallows under a starry night sky.The pancakes at Tom's Diner are literally out of this world. Five stars

CAh yes, the simple pleasures... A shame that marshmallows in Night City would only taste of exhaust fumes.

I apologize, it is this cursed interface... Or a virus.

I have not had the opportunity to try it, but... I suspect I would not be welcome there.

V – choose a replyAShe's his motherBDoesn't matter

I see.

V – choose a replyAHis motherBDoesn't matter

I am alive and well.

But had you not returned for me, I could not send you that message. Thank you.

V – choose a replyAGlad you're in one pieceBWe're just getting warmed up. We still have to face Smasher and his boss

BPerhaps even sooner than they anticipate...

Right now I am waiting in a secure location

BYou saw for yourself... It is hard to read her thoughts, but I have the strange feeling that she is already devising some kind of plan...

CI trust her. I advise you to do the same. We will be in touch.

If you bow your head, then only to one of higher standing.

V – choose a replynot sure how you want me to interpret that

These are words of wisdom that have offered me guidance throughout my life. As I hope they will for you.

What do you plan to do? You know of what I'm asking

V – choose a replyADon't know yetBI'm stickin to the plan. Hanako at my back will be a big helpCCould use a fixer again. You remember Rogue?DMaybe we look for help outside the city? got contacts with the aldecaldos

V – choose a replyADon't know yetBI'm stickin to the plan. Hanako at my back will be a big helpCCould use a fixer again. You remember Rogue?

AIt is difficult to choose the right path when each step is a journey into the unknown. But never forget that you are not alone.

BPerfect. It's the only sensible choice, my friend. First it was me on your side, now her, and soon all of Arasaka.

CNot the wisest idea. We shouldn't place our fates in the hands of someone like Rogue. She's a hornet trapped in a woman's body

DNomads… Those who abandon the city in search of freedom. A beautiful notion… but ideals won't help us here. Only Arasaka can stand against Arasaka.

Even should you abandon your body, never abandon your honor.
Never stray from the Way.
